Step 4: Submit Your Callsign for Verification

Submit your callsign for verification. Be sure to include a copy of your amateur radio license, if available. This helps the administrators verify your identity and approve your account.

For more details, see the Verification page.

Step 5: Request a Subnet

Now that your callsign is verified, you can request a subnet. Here are your options:

If you have only a callsign verified, you can request a subnet ranging from /32 to /25.
If you submit your address for verification, you can request a /24.

Once your subnet is approved, you're ready to configure your network.

Configuring Your Network

From here, you can:

Configure your hardware for IPIP mesh networking. (Link to IPIP Mesh info)
Work with your ISP to announce your /24 via BGP. (Link to BGP info)
